Fortunately, I'm thinking that this isn't the same coot I videoed a fortnight ago, as it would mean it was down to one chick, and it hasn't grown. Surely not another brood already, unless it lost the first one entirely? 😔 Taken a couple of days back #eurasiancoot #coot #birds | #kent #england

A #EurasianCoot comes straight at the lens, eyes locked, beak centered, no drama needed.
#Amsterdam canals are full of tiny standoffs like this, one bird, one moment, all focus. 👀
